CUUC 2009 website and Suggestions for Pre CUUC 2009 Interviews

Nation,

The CUUC 2009 is up and here's a link to it. If you're a university squad that hasn't confirmed your presence yet, please do so. With travel subsidies, great travel deals with WestJet and a host city like Montreal, you'd be silly not to do so.

I'm looking to conduct some interviews with key teams and players before CUUC takes place. As a reader, which team do you want to learn more about? Which players should I speak to?

Carleton has done a great job of developing a top level team over the last few years. Would be interested to hear from them. I imagine, from the familiar club faces, that their strength has come from encouraging all players to play club (of any level) during summers. This was the key for Tula, but would be good to hear their take on it (from someone who's been there a while, please).

I second the Colin Purdy (Carleton) request. He's always got something interesting to say. I think one of the best players to speak to about Carleton would be Bryce Ring (he has been around for a while). And, if he's not too busy with the shellfish, Kielan Way (I think the reasons are obvious) would be a great interview as well.

I would also like to hear more about teams from out east. Is Dalhousie the only Atlantic school with representation? I recall Acadia had a team for CUUC when it was last in Montreal. It surprised me at the time because the enrollment is so small in Wolfville, but now I'm wondering why there aren't more teams from the Maritimes? UNB seems like it would be big enough, as well as St. Mary's and UPEI. Maybe Hogel can fill us all in.
